New Yorker employees will be able to unionize.
The news comes a month after staffers indicated a strong desire to form a union with the News Guild of New York.
The magazine’s editor-in-chief, David Remnick, circulated a memo on Monday explaining that after many talks with the guild, both parties have “agreed on a process to voluntarily recognize the New Yorker Union.”
“We’re in this together,” Remnick said. “The work we set out to do every day is more important than ever. We mean to tell the truth, to be accurate, to be fair and humane.
“Each one of us, I know, is dedicated to safeguarding the values, integrity, and health of The New Yorker, and to producing work of the highest caliber.”
